Oh reading comprehension hilarity with Jono

Please tell me this is hypothetical and there aren’t people there?

I mean if you are offering them some help - then it may backfire and folks could use it quick access to mental health care.

“...Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives ... on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam...”

- Carl Sagan, ‘Pale Blue Dot’

Oh yes, just disappointing.

So 2 Covid-19 Royal Commissions now find Labour did an excellent job & led NZ to one of the best outcomes globally. The report also vindicates the economics. If $30 billion was spent on schools, infrastructure etc that's amazing and supportive.
National are borrowing $120 billion w/o a pandemic

When did you become such a sell out who’s so polite about the nats?

This is now all I need to hear about it.

I was saying to dad earlier today that we need non ideological driven policy - it’s really fucking the world over.

Bottom of the barrel is now headline news.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

We lost Sher, folks

Morning.

Work!

I’m corrupting my search history for you and learning

Fuck aye?

I thought it was just us who were shot at roading.

I mean, that is what they all say

I get that we need some kind of back stop, but dropping a 1B on having the ability to back stop seem quite extreme.

Ignoring the greens shit canned exploration AFTER folks had stopped looking because their wasn’t the return.

It doesn’t feel like folks have had time to get a viable plan.

Some thoughts on why I think it's important to remember that the natural and physical world provide joy and curiosity, even though global geopolitics is very mean and horrible right now. Appreciating the world around us gives us joy & agency. Don't forget the bad, but hold on to the good too.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

Or we are finding out that the “ first they came for the …. “ is accurate and we are all fucked

It’s just fucking soulless. While his incompetence was fucking the people who voted for him, it was mildly amusing, now it’s just 😱🤷

“it all gives me the heebeejeebees.” Seems like an honest that entirely valid, unlike bigots who would tell everyone else they aren’t allowed to use those thing because of some silly reason.

How how how do we not have data analyst ?

I honestly don’t know if this is satire or real.

I fucking hate the world right now.

Hope you’ve hugged your dog today.

I’ve not read what happened because mental health.

I don’t understand how the fuck you bomb the wrong building. The Yanks have had the capability to do precision blowing shit up since the 90s - I can’t image it has because worse in the intervening decades?

The civil?

But they lost it as well so maybe not.

At times like these it always helps to read some William Butler Yeats

'this detention centre' looks suspiciously like your bog standard Conference Centre somewhere on the outskirts of Kettering, just off the A14.
